Squarespace Site — Specific Considerations

Squarespace sites use Squarespace's infrastructure and built-in analytics that automatically collect visitor data. Squarespace Commerce collects customer purchase data, and Squarespace Email Campaigns processes subscriber data. Unlike open-source platforms, Squarespace's data collection is more standardized and predictable, but you must still disclose Squarespace's role as a data processor and any third-party integrations.

Data typically collected by Squarespace Site businesses: visitor analytics and session data, Squarespace Commerce customer and order data, email campaign subscriber data, form submission data, cookie and tracking data

• Squarespace as data processor disclosure
• Squarespace Commerce payment processing (Stripe)
• Squarespace Email Campaigns subscriber data
• Third-party integrations (Mailchimp, Google Analytics)
• Squarespace Analytics data retention
